Ajax Vehicles: Testing

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, on which date was the decision taken to recommence testing of the Ajax vehicle platform.

Answer

As I confirmed to the House during Defence Oral Questions on 16 March 2026, we have received the final Army safety investigation report, and work is ongoing to agree next steps. The department continues to engage with General Dynamics on the report and next steps, as we have since Exercise TITAN STORM. I will update the House after Easter recess to outline next steps.
